It is confirmed: Japan gives up on decontamination… the world’s last hope has just evaporated.

That was the last straw on an eventual ELE unless they come up with technologies that do not yet exist.

This was my fist call on doom 2 years ago, sadly I may now be correct.

Tokyo will be barren, not to mention the rest of Japan.

Merrily, the people will still go about seeking Pokemon.

return home?

so very, very sad for all of us.

i am speechless at the magnitude of this news.

(Translation by Mia)Government officials held a meeting in Tamura-city in Fukushima prefecture to explain to residents that they need to look after themselves from now on. Originally they were aiming to reduce the level of contamination down to 0.23uSv/h (=added ionizing radiation 1mSv/y). However, they have now abandoned this aim and are not going to repeat any more decontamination.

The officials have suggested to residents that it’s ok to live there even if the level of radiation doesn’t go down below 0.23uSv/h as long as they monitor their exposure level by wearing the dosimeter and manage to live carefully inside their house so as not to be exposed to more than 0.23uSv/h.
